Basic biscuits

About this recipe:These biscuits are perfect for cookie cutters. I have made many biscuits in my years and have perfected the recipe. These will not 'grow' any bigger than when they are cut out so you don't have to space them out so much.

easy, quick and tasty.
We used this recipe to make our pudsey bear biscuits. 1st batch I left in for 15 mins because they looked like they wasnt ready at 12 mins, they where still edible just starting to burn. 2nd batch I took out at 12 mins and they were perfect! I mis read the recipe and used 2 tbsp of vanilla essence instead of 2 tsp lol but they turned out great anyway. I always worry that homemade biscuits taste a bit bland without the icing on but these tasted great without any decoration on. (could be because of the extra vanilla essence lol) but they are tasty with or without icing on.
Will definatly be using this recipe again.

I'm in love with these biscuits!! Just finished making them and I added chocolate chips and decorated with icing and they are yummy!! Very soft and easy to cook but I found it needs alot more milk than the recipe states! Other than that, one of the best i've ever had! - 09 Oct 2011
